Chapter 461 Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?

"I know who Shockwave is. Now tell me, who is Megatronus?"

Fu Qinghai asked the Cybertronian gladiator.

In Fu Qinghai's impression, all Transformers with the word "Tian" in their names are famous, and ordinary unknown people would not dare to use the word "Tian" as their name.

For example, the gladiator next to Fu Qinghai, the gladiator who underwent surgery by Fu Qinghai yesterday, his name is "Barricade", an ordinary and featureless Cybertronian name. Such a name is in line with his identity and status as a Charon miner.

"Zothron Megatron, the greatest warrior in the history of the Kalon City Arena, the invincible king of gladiators!"

Barricade said excitedly.

"I don't know where he came from. They all say that he was once a miner in Kalon City, just like us. But he is gifted. He is so strong, so brutal, and so invincible. In the arena of Kalon City, no one can defeat him, and he has never lost in his career. In addition, there is a group of gladiators who are always following him. He is the well-deserved absolute king!"

King of gladiators? Slave leader? Spartacus?

This was Fu Qinghai's first reaction after hearing the description.

Barricade was very excited when talking about this, gesticulating and dancing, and continued to describe it to Fu Qinghai:

"Zhen Tian Zun, strictly speaking, is not his name, but just his nickname, because the real 'Zhen Tian Zun' is one of the Thirteen Ancestors. Do you know the Thirteen Ancestors?"

"I have heard of it."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

The Thirteen Originals are the original thirteen super Transformers in the Transformers Universe. By analogy, if Primordial Lord and Unicron are the God and Satan in the Transformers Universe, then the Thirteen Originals are the thirteen archangels.

"But I don't know what 'Metatronus' means."

Fu Qinghai continued to ask.

Barricade explained patiently:

"First of all, you have to know that Yuan Tianzun is the one who is most like Yuanshi Tianzun among the thirteen Yuanzu. Zhen Tianzun is a warrior modeled after Yuan Tianzun, but he is the opposite of his darkness. He is also the most complex leader, struggling in the endless passion for fighting and killing, and cannot find peace. Zhen Tianzun's loyalty to Yuanshi Tianzun is unquestionable, but he has to face Yuanshi Tianzun's bright nature and Yuan Tianzun's pursuit of the righteous path every day, which makes him feel like an outsider, forever cursed by his terrifying strength. His ruthlessness, ambition, firm belief and unstoppable style of doing things give him almost unlimited potential."

"At the same time, Megatronus felt that these traits made him unpopular with other leaders - he looked too much like Unicron. When he showed his burning face to other leaders, they would always look away, unwilling to meet his gaze, which always made Megatronus feel uneasy. He never did anything wrong, but he always felt ashamed of himself."

"This unfair attitude gnawed at his spirit, as if he alone bore all the sins of darkness, while others did not have to make difficult compromises or dirty their hands, and could justify themselves with a clear conscience. He was so proud that he did not realize that it was this mentality that made him so vulnerable, because he would not admit any weakness. He used fanaticism to cover up his fear, and even when facing those closest to him - Maximo, Sai Tianjiao, Wei Tianxing, and Bao Tianxiao, he would often go hot and cold, and everything depended on whether his paranoia would flare up, which made him capricious and unstable."

Barricade talked about these things in great detail.

After saying that, he added,

"According to legend, Master Zhentian has a special artifact - the Soul-Calming Spear, which was made by Sai Tianjiao according to Master Zhentian's requirements and design. This weapon is made from the fiery core of a distant star and can emit an extremely powerful plasma stream, which will destroy everything in its path!"

Fu Qinghai looked strange after hearing this:

"Why do you know so much?"

"Because the Thirteen Ancestors are our Cybertronian myths and legends, and every Cybertronian knows the story. I have heard others tell me about it since I was very young, and I am familiar with every one of the Thirteen Ancestors!"

Barricade said proudly, puffing out his chest.

It's quite childish.

Fu Qinghai commented in his heart.

I see. According to the Bible, Yuan Tianzun is the archangel Michael, and Zhen Tianzun is the fallen angel Lucifer.

This gladiator from Kalon City used "Zhen Tianzun" as his name, which is equivalent to an underground black boxing fighter in China naming himself "Fuxi" or "Nuwa".

This is not called "arrogance".

This is crazy beyond measure.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself, if I make it in the Kalon City Arena, what name should I give myself?

Sun Breaking Heaven? Sun Piercing Heaven?

"If you want to get to know Megatronus better, I mean this Megatronus in Kalon City, then today is a good opportunity. Megatronus will be fighting in a few minutes, and we can go and watch the match and admire his unparalleled majestic and heroic appearance and fighting skills up close!"

Barricade made a suggestion.

It is obvious that he is a die-hard fan and admirer of Megatron.

"Okay, I'll go and make a request to the jailer."

Fu Qinghai accepted the suggestion.

…

"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"

The entire venue was shaking rhythmically, accompanied by the audience's loud shouts and stomping of their feet.

The Colosseum in the city of Kalon is always so noisy, with voices of people bustling and drums resounding.

Fu Qinghai and Barricade sat in the corner of the arena.

The gladiator named "Zhou Tianzun" stood in the center of the arena. It was obvious that he was very popular, and the audience above and around him cheered loudly. He raised his head and waved his hands at everyone, and the audience became even more excited, and the entire arena was shouting his name.

Then, the fight began.

Until this moment, Fu Qinghai finally understood what the host meant by the "Zhentianzun" level of fighting standards - for Zhentianzun, every fight was a fight between a small number of people and three or even five. Just like the fight with Fu Qinghai, the gladiators had scanned the abandoned vehicles in advance and ambushed in the garbage dump, and suddenly rushed forward.

Then, they were killed like a whirlwind.

Fu Qinghai silently observed Zhen Tianzun's fighting style.

Unlike Fu Qinghai who had to use some tricks to defeat Combiner, Megatronus was already very skilled in dealing with these gladiators. He did not have any special technology like deflection fields or stasis fields. He was simply strong, fast, and experienced. He could withstand four or five heavy blows from other Cybertronian gladiators, but he could smash a Cybertronian gladiator's head with just a backhand.

It was too easy, so one-sided.

The key is.

His fighting style is very theatrical.

This is not to say that Zhen Tianzun played a fixed match.

Fu Qinghai could see that this fight was indeed a life-and-death struggle, but it seemed that Zhen Tianzun... just liked to deliberately use some cruel and brutal means -

He tore off his opponent's arm and threw it high into the audience seats of the arena. The torn arm flew to the second floor, sparking and dripping with oily residue from the super-vibration blade energy crystal. Some spectators leaned forward to grab the arm. Fu Qinghai saw it with his peripheral vision. The sharp blade on the stump easily pierced the arm of a spectator. Then another spectator in the crowd grabbed the arm just as it was about to fall and threw it to the next level. Then a conflict broke out in the crowd, and everyone was struggling to grab it...

Zhen Tianzun, he is always roaring.

Want to provoke or anger your opponent?

"Tell me who can defeat Megatronus?"

He roared as the two maces in his hands dropped at the same time, splashing lubricating liquid and machine fragments on his body.

"No one! No one can defeat Megatronus!"

He chopped again, and again, and continued to chop—slaughtering the combined machine right where it stood. Then he threw down his weapon, raised his arms, and shouted:

"I can still fight! I can still fight!"

He walked from one end of the arena to the other, like a king inspecting his territory, pointing at the audience seats:

"Who wants to challenge me? You? You? Anyone? Five or ten people come together to challenge me, and bet everything I have won so far! No one can defeat Megatronus!"

In psychology, using one's own name instead of the first-person pronouns is either a lack of self-awareness, like babies, or an overly strong self-awareness, in simple terms, extreme self-esteem and self-confidence. Of course, some boring people deliberately use this method to be cute.

Fu Qinghai analyzed silently.

Megatronus returned to the center of the arena and kicked the mechanical wreckage into the audience, causing another round of cheers.

"Remember!" he shouted. "Remember you met Megatronus! This is the greatest day of your lives!"

The cheers and shouts of the audience poured down like a waterfall of energy, as surging and exciting as life itself.

Then.

Something unexpected happened to Fu Qinghai:

Zhen Tianzun stood on top of the garbage dump.

He began a passionate speech:

"Every time I come to this moment, every time I defeat my opponent and step on their corpses, I can't help but wonder: What's the point of doing this? Why do I fight? What are we fighting for? I want to ask you, all of you here!"

"Aren't all of us Cybertronians made of the same stuff? The alloy that makes up my body is exactly the same as the alloy that makes up the members of the Supreme Council. The lubricant in my joints is no different than the lubricant in the Thirteenth Primeval's joints!"

Megatronus' voice was rough and hoarse, as if the large machines in the Kalon factory were roaring violently.

"We are all individuals!"

"We were free Cybertronians once!"

"We don't want classes! I want to break the boundaries!"

What does this mean? You want to start a revolution?

Fu Qinghai witnessed this scene in amazement.

"Zhentianzun! Zhentianzun! Zhentianzun!"

As the cheers grew louder, something strange happened. The last syllable of the name slowly faded away, and people naturally chose to shout out a more catchy title. His name was gradually adjusted, changed, and finally completely deformed by the crowd. He was given a new name by the audience - a name that no Cybertronian had ever used before.

"Megatron! Megatron! Megatron!"

The arena was shaken by the cheers.

Fu Qinghai: "!!??"

My eyes widened immediately when I heard the name.

Megatron? He is Megatron?

Megatronus.

Megatron.

Remove two syllables and it really is just one word.

Megatronus, oh no, Megatron, stood in the center of the arena with one arm raised, surrounded by black smoke, debris, and the remains of his opponent, as well as endless cheers.
